Among the topics: Christie's support for the Second Amendment. New Jersey has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, but Christie, who ran his first campaigns for local office defending the state's assault weapons ban, blamed a Democratic legislature for the state's current laws, and said he'd vetoed recent attempts to limit gun owners' rights.
"Listen, I know that there's a lot of perceptions about my view on gun rights because I'm from New Jersey and because the laws are the way they are," he told the crowd. "We'll just have to explain that to folks over the course of time." |

In other words, he likes NJ's tyrannical laws just fine the way they are, and doesn't see a need to make them worse.
Well, I guess that means if I had to choose between the governors of Colorado, New Jersey, and New York for my next president, Chris Cringle and his bowlful of jelly-belly might be the least objectionable option.
However, in the real world, we have better choices. |

Christie's new found support for the second amendment is only because he has aspirations for national office.
I trust him as much as I trust Hillary Clinton on gun rights.
He is the only one of the dozen or so candidates for the Republican presidential nomination that I would not vote for. I would throw my vote to a third party candidate or stay home before I would vote for him. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
